Cloud amount/frequency, NITRATE and other data from CHARLES DARWIN in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean from 1986-12-20 to 1987-08-14 (NCEI Accession 9000045)

NOAA logo.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data with oxygen was collected off of Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea using Charles Darwin ship as part of Monsoon And Sea-Air Interaction (MASAI) project conducted between December 1986 and August 1987. The data was submitted by Dr. Donald B. Olson of Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), University of Miami, FL. The originator's data has been processed by NODC and is available in C100 Ocean Station Data format and F-022 hi resolution CTD data.

Supplemental Information

The publication listed below is related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library:

CTD and bottle data from MASAI, Leg I, 20 December 1986-18 January 1987; Leg II, 17 July 1987-15 August 1987. Miami : Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 1989.

Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, the NODC reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.

This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
